Parents and carers in Nottinghamshire are being reminded to check that their child is up to date with their vaccinations.<\/p>\n
Public Health England has issued the call\u00a0 and is especially appealing to parents whose children will be starting a new school.<\/p>\n
It has produced some handy postcard information leaflets that can be downloaded and shared.<\/p>\n
A Public Health England spokesperson said: \u201cYour child will be learning and playing with more children when they start their new school and could be at risk of catching preventable diseases if they haven\u2019t had all their childhood jabs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are not sure if your child has had all their routine vaccinations, check their personal health record (Red Book) or contact the GP surgery.
\n\u201cTo get the best protection for your child, they need to have had two doses of MMR vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n
